I think there may be a chance that you have your spring assist band on upside down. If you look at the spring assembley you should be able to read "USA" from above the egg. If you see USA from below the egg then you have it upside down. The reaso…

lockjaw,[p]I have a large and a small and love that balance. I cook on my small 2-4 nights a week and 1-2 nights a week on the large. The small is great for quicker cooks. I do the bulk of my low and slow cooks on the large and if I have to cook …

Uncle Phil,[p]I am still fairly new at this but I have a guess as to what is going on. I experienced a similar thing on my first try at Pizza. The egg was allowed to get too hot and the ceramics hold the heat so well that it never got a chance to …

BajaTom,[p]Glad you were able to find them. We see them here in Nashville at Costco but they are always precut into steak. I have been able to ask the folks in the meat department to sell me the cryovac packs and paid 3.99 just yesterday. The ba…

SMITTYtheSMOKER,[p]That looks really great. Could you elaborate on the seasoning please. Are there beer cans or vertical chicken roasters in there or are they holding each other up? Looks to be inverted plate setter.

Chef Wil,[p]You probably did this already area =3.14(r*r)
XL BGE 3.14(12*12)=452.16
large BGE 3.14(9.12*9.12)=261.17
Med BGE 3.14(7.5*7.5)=176.62
Mini BGE 3.14 (4*4)=50.24[p]a large and a medium are 14.37 square inches less than one XL
the r…

LawnRanger,[p]I did nearly the exact cook that you did. Only difference was that I used royal oak instead of Mesquite lump (what brand of mesquite do you use?). I also did not have the patience to bring the temp below 400 for the "roast" phase. T…

Dr_Redwine,[p]Cooking some burgers tonight before going to the Predators hockey game. Will put some ribs on in the morning to have after church along with some wings. Pizzas tomorrow evening for the Super Bowl and maybe some ABT's as appetizers.[p…

Chubby,[p]
Thanks for the picture. I will call my local dealer and if they don't have it I will call Atlanta. I knew there was a BGE product for this purpose but could not seem to find it. Loving my great mates! My sister got them for me for…

A,
I couldn't find a picture to show but here is what I do and it is really simple. Slice the hot dogs lengthwise about half way thru and put them on the egg on a raised grid around 350 or so. Wait for them to split open some (approx 10 mins). …

SuperDave,
It was right around 200. It has been on the oven on warm since about 1 (4hrs now) my guests arrive in a bit. I left the point on the egg and about 45 minutes ago I chopped some of it up in a bowl added some Gates sauce and stuck the …

bbqwizard,
I have to go out to some dinner party tonight but have still have some stuff on the egg. I have a pork butt on for the games tomorrow along with a left over pork chop that is reheating for a few minutes for the kids. We are going to so…

QBabe,[p]Okay I did not mention before that at least 40% of the pleasure I gain from cooking on the egg is not related to the food itself. I have this "fire bug" thing coupled with a somewhat competitive nature. I am fine cooking at 500 degrees bu…

Dos Huevos,[p]It is a good feeling when you are able to reach the size you were "back in the day". I too had a similar thought. I have to go to a black tie optional fund raiser tonight and as I was going thru my dressier clothes I found that the o…

Haggis,[p]
I had a large and added a small. I too thought it would be nice to have one that was easier to move around. I have found that I do most of my cooking on the small and am probably using less lump as a result. I rarely have to cook for …

Tennessee Smokey,[p]I have had my large for about 8 months and loved it so much that I went and bought a small to go with it 2 or 3 months back. I have never come close to losing the rain cap when opening the egg. I would bet that if one were to …

mast3quila,
I have seen the same thing with my eggs. This is my first winter with them too so I was wondering it was normal or not. Thanks for clearing that up Chris. Thanks again for the rubs in transit aswell. It was really cold out the las…

SmokingInMO,[p]Sounds very familiar. Also sounds really good! You will enjoy the second egg. I picked up a small to go with my Large and really like it. I will probably pack up the small and take it with me to Virginia tomorrow. I too had a bu…

I would pick something with a high success rate. Do you have any eggcessories to go with it? Searing steaks would be a great option but you should check out "the naked whiz" website and read about flashback. www.nakedwhiz.com The egg is an aweso…

Lionel,[p]They way I understand it your cook time will not change unless the two pieces of meat are pushed up against one another. I would expect that the smaller one will finish before the larger.[p]Good Luck[p]JNK

BBQfan1,
I have never tried cold smoking anything but had a hair brained idea. If you have a guru try putting it on the secondary "cold" egg. But only if reversing the polarity of the fan power cable makes the fan spin backwards. That would give…
